Senator Dodd
moved his family to Iowa to be involved in the system. These caucus meetings and the primary in New Hampshire are the results from only two states. Last time I checked, we have 50 states in our country.

Senator Dodd should have at least stayed in the race to allow people in Connecticut to say nay or yea to him in the upcoming Feb. 5 primary.

Four years ago, many of our states got together to form a "Super Tuesday" primary in early March. Now, it's been moved up again to early February to create "Super-Duper Tuesday." Some states even moved things to January, even with the loss of delegates to the convention.

Meanwhile, the candidates from both parties are shooting each other in the foot. If we listen to any of them, we shouldn't elect any of them! But what is really going on are candidates who are going after the big delegate states thinking that is what will get them elected.
